### Warning: This chapter might trigger some people. Read at your risk. ###

"So, Dylan Harmon, how is the story of this obedient boy turning into a cold-blooded monster? A monster who was getting satisfied seeing women die, cry, and suffer." Aarvi lied at the end to enrage him to speak all the truth. 

Dylan tried hard to clench his teeth but shouted at her, "Shut up… Shut up… You know nothing about me." He was furious. It was really uncommon to see him lose his calm like that.

Aarvi crossed her arms and probed very calmly, "Oh really? Where was I wrong?"

Dylan who just thought to speak about his motives spoke about his girlfriend first, "It's goddamn true she went for Leon. Why wouldn't she? He was handsome, smart, the youngest president, he was getting her gifts which I couldn't even afford."

He glared at Aarvi, "Do you think I hated her?" He questioned her and then continued, "I let her go so that she could be happy, lead a life she wished for." Leon went behind that girl because she was Dylan's girlfriend, Leon wanted to show domination, superiority. That Dylan failed to understand.

"She fell for him, she wanted to marry him and she got pregnant. H-he just kicked her away, he had beaten her till she ended up in a miscarriage. If I hadn't saved her, she would have died that day." 

Even after all that, Dylan was ready to leave the city and live with her. However, she couldn't see a life without Leon. She wrote an emotional letter to Dylan and suicide.

Aarvi had already read that letter. The files, pictures, and some proof against Leon were taken from Dylan's bank locker. Zain used his connection to seize Dylan's locker with the help of cops.

"She wanted me to take revenge for her," Dylan said through his teeth. "She asked me to help women like her to kill Leon."

Aarvi snickered after hearing Dylan's motive. She couldn't believe Dylan Harmon, who was smart and intelligent, failed to understand his own girlfriend.

His girlfriend was clearly a cheater, if she really loved Leon like Eliza, would she have asked for revenge so easily? She went to Leon willingly, however, Leon was forcing many innocent girls and Dylan was using those innocent girls, instead of saving them.

Aarvi sneered, "And you think your love for her is great. You believed she loved Leon Harmon and he cheated on her." She growled, "Dylan Harmon, wake up from your dream, your girlfriend was a bloody cheater. Leon was enjoying your misery. She loved nobody but money." Dylan was a Harmon, when she has bigger fish, Leon Harmon gave her attention, she went to hold the big thigh.

Dylan shook his head vigorously and yelled at Aarvi, "That's not true."

Aarvi didn't insist. He was blinded in his own world of love, an obsession to fulfill the wish of his love. "If you really wanted revenge, you should have taken it and saved all those innocent girls. What did they do to you and your brother?" She couldn't believe one was lusting and another one was using those girls.

Zain went ahead and kicked Dylan. His cold voice was intimidating, "Didn't you fear retribution?"

'Cough… Cough…' 

Dylan spat a mouthful of blood. He was finding it hard to breathe, his whole body was throbbing in pain. However, he started laughing, making everyone's blood boil. "I- I th-thought you w-want to know about h-her." He pointed his chin at Aarvi, "You-you are worried about other girls…" He laughed ironically.

Aaron tapped Zain's shoulder before he killed Dylan. Aaron didn't care how other girls became prey for two brothers, he wanted to know how his Cupcake ended up in such way.

Dylan took their silence as a time to tell them the truth. "I saved many women from dying and gave them support to get back on their feet. I wished they could get the courage to fight but…" He scoffed, "They chickened out."

His gaze went on Aarvi, "That's when I saw her; Ava Kelly. Innocent, confident, simple… I pitied her when Leon was checking her out, following her everywhere. Tsk… …"

Those times, Dylan watched Ava Kelly assisting in some major projects of Kelly International. He watched her bring life to the Highland with her two friends. Dax Grant and Shawn Rivas.

He ignored Dax and Shawn caught the attention. How he protected her, took care of her. Then he noticed Karsen and Megan were close to her. She had two strong families as support.

While Leon was giving up on her as he might provoke the wrong people, Dylan chose Ava Kelly as his pawn after a thorough investigation on her. Her studies, her activities, her goals, he got to know everything.

He started sending pictures or interesting details of Ava Kelly to Leon, time and time. The dying spark lighted, stronger than ever. Leon was set on getting her. Dylan wanted to bring an opportunity for Leon to act so he encouraged Grace Well to be with Vance Hays. He didn't have to do much as Grace Wells was already swooning Vance Hays.

Dylan's plan went smoothly and Ava Kelly isolated herself. But hard luck, he failed to find her location. So he contacted Vance in Leon's name, used Grace Wells, and brought Ava Kelly out. For Leon, it was his plan. So he got happy without knowing Dylan was the master behind everything,

That night, Dylan had rushed to the hotel with a fake urgency so that he could give a chance for Ava Kelly to escape. Escape and reach her safe den. Taking her personality, her friends, and brother's sense of protectiveness, doting Hayden, he was sure she would return and put an end to Leon.

Then he realized that he underestimated her when she was able to escape on her own. He dropped her mobile in the elevator which he received from Grace Wells and hoped she might have killed Leon but she had managed to hurt Leon.

Her fate was rather cruel. She was escaping to fall into another cruel pit of her life.

That night he made calls to Shawn, Dylan, Zain, Hayden mentioning she was missing. That's when he realized Leon was a step ahead and dispersed everyone away.

At last, he gave a tip-off to the military, crooked the handgun of Leon, and watched her knocking on the door of death.

Later he had checked in hospitals, tracked Dax and Zain but got nothing useful. Shawn was mourning so he never doubted she could be with Rivas. Three months he tried to look for her. He didn't find her body or any news of her. That's when he accepted she died and Leon changed because Leon wasn't touching any woman.

He finally saw her at the studio where Aeon was directing his movie, that's when he realized she was back, stronger than he expected. He indeed tried to control her many times, but he could rarely guess her moves, she was too unpredictable and more powerful than him to get to his hands. 

He was indeed on her side. Nonetheless, he was the one who brought her to the side to stand against Leon or die like other women.

---- Present ----

Before Zain could strike at Dylan, he lost his consciousness. Although Dylan didn't control them recently, he was indeed the one who dragged Aarvi into the mess. Aarvi became the prey of two brothers.

More than them, Aarvi had the right to choose what to do for Dylan so Zain turned to Aarvi. He knew his Pumpkin was expecting Dylan to be a good man for saving so many women. But after knowing he was trying to use them for his blinded revenge, the hint of positive hope crumbled down. "What's your plan?" Zain asked.

Aarvi breathed slowly and looked at Zain. "Apple Pie, I was trying to bite my tongue to kill myself when they were… torturing me." Her gaze shifted to Dylan, "I want him to suicide, I don't care about the reason or process." 

Probably it would still be called a murder but she wanted Dylan to wish for death in fear of her or the two men or the past haunting him. Going to that mental state was not an easy path. One needs to go through great mental torture to have suicidal thoughts.

In short, she wanted Dylan to die.

Zain sighed understanding she doesn't want them to kill Dylan. He cued the men to take care of Dylan and went towards their cars. He heard Aarvi speaking over a call while she was getting in the car, "I need a plausible list of small business ideas for all women workers."

Dylan was sending money for those women to live whereas his sister was giving a chance for those women to build their life. Zain again sighed as he got into the car without worry. Aaron was there to take care of Aarvi.

After the puzzle named Dylan was solved, Zain felt relaxed to leave his job and take over the company. He knew Hayden still wished for Aarvi to look after the company, anyway Zain was giving importance to Aarvi's wish, and also he was going to focus on his life.. He couldn't let Zara be waiting for him to make a decision.
